UNITED STATES footballer Alejandro Bedoya has made a statement about gun violence in the nation’s capital.
After scoring the opening goal in the Philadelphia Union’s 5-1 victory over DC United on Sunday night, Bedoya ran to an on-field microphone and shouted to the crowd: “Hey Congress, do something now! End gun violence! Let’s go!”
Bedoya earlier tweeted about recent gun violence in Texas and Ohio that killed 29 people over the weekend.
“Seeing more thoughts and prayers bullshit,” he said. “Words without actions are just worthless. America, it seems, is becoming a dystopian society.
“Do something!!! Enough!!!”
When Bedoya was asked to clarify by another user on Twitter how he would address the problem of gun violence he expanded on his views. “We can start with stricter background checks, red flag laws, making a registry for gun purchases, closing gun show loopholes, and taxing ammunition,” he wrote.
